Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Alice, bored on a riverbank, follows a White Rabbit in a waistcoat and with a pocket watch down a hole and lands in a world where size, time and logic keep changing. Told by Lewis Carroll to the daughters of an Oxford dean in 1862 and published in 1865, it is the book that made nonsense a classic.

This edition, in English, has John Tenniel’s original illustrations and notes on the poems Carroll parodies, the puns of the Mock Turtle’s lessons, the sayings and objects of Victorian life and the real people behind some of the animals, plus an introduction and a chronology.
